2003: Pig dogging from the take-off is easier than surfing along the wave, lining up a section, grabbing the rail and setting up the tube. — Taj Burrow’s Book of Hot Surfing, edited by Sam McIntosh, Rollingyouth Press, 2003, ISBN 0975070606, page 119.

A dog bred to hunt wild pigs and boars, typically based on breeds such as Staffordshire Terrier and English Bull Terrier

Этимология

() Taj Burrows offers two (perhaps fanciful) explanations for the surfing sense (Taj Burrow’s Book of Hot Surfing, edited by Sam McIntosh, Rollingyouth Press, 2003, ISBN 0975070606), that it’s from the strange dog-like face most surfers get when in the stance (page 119) or that the stance is low and sturdy like a dog (glossary page 171).
